Need help constructing a shape...
I'm trying to recreate the banner in the image below using shapes but I can't seem to get it right. I know I could just use the pen tool, but I wanted to see if there was a quick way to construct it using shapes. The main point of contention is creating the part to the left of "SPADES" where the banner goes behind the spade. Any suggestions?
Below is what I have created so far, but as you can (hopefuly) see in the close-up, there is something wrong with the back of the ribbon (darker grey). Or am I being too picky.

I need help making this shape.
I made this shield in PS.
The edges are very rough. Can you help teach me how to make the edges smoother?
Here is what i did:
I made the left half of the shield with the pen tool.
I then used paths and click on load path as selection.
I filled the selection with a solid color, then duplicated the layer and flipped horrizontaly to make the shield complete.
I think what i did wrong was to make the path a selection.
I still consider my self tobe a novice when it comes to the pen tool, but i wanted to make this shield shape my self and not just
download a shape.
Thanks again for your help.I found that the anti-alias option was turned on when ever i would click on it but checking seemed to make the outer (gold shield) less jagged on the oute side, simply by checking it.
Now i am trying to get the inner shield (blue) to not be jagged.
I copied the layer, filled it in with blue then transformed (shrank) it just a little bit. It was jagged.
I then copied the layer, filled it with blue, converted it to a smart object, transformed (shrank) it and it was jagged.
At this point I redid what you said with the paths again for the blue layer, but then...
This time after selecting anti-alias option, i went back to a blank layer, right clicked in the path selection, free transformed (shrank) filled the layer with blue.
This has fixed the problem.
Thanks again for your help. -
I need help with the shape matching of this image
I am currently using NI Vision Assisstant to help me with the logic for the VI code. So currently I have 3 diagonal rectangles and I cannot figure out how to find the shape of each of them. Attached is a screenshot of the image I have. I have it going through a Luminosity filter and then a frequency filter and then I converted it to a binary image... now I am at this point: If anyone could help me find the rectangles... that would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry for such a basic quesiton.
Thank you,

Test.png 19 KBHello Yousuf,
There are quite a few functions that you might find useful for locating rectangles in a binarized image. Possibilities include Shape Matching, Pattern Matching, Geometric Matching, Shape Detection, and more. The difficulty that you will run into is the fact that your retangles are not straight edged, but are also not curved edges. Many of the shape matching tools look for straight edges and right angles, which are not present in your image. As such, it may be easiest to first use edge detecting tools to locate your edges, then use measurement tools to calculate area or distance.
I played around with your image briefly, and was able to localize the edges to within an approximation. I used the Clamp (Rake) tool to achieve the edge localization seen in the attached screen shots. As you can see in ClampRect.png, the edge lines drawn aren't terribly accurate, but the other images show the points used, and with some playing around you should be able to find a better approximation of the rectangle edge. Hope this helps!

I need help with vector shapes
I have created a shape with the pen tool in CS6, I have multiple shapes that I have built into what should be a single shape. Although when the path tool is not on I can see the single shape I can't seem to set a stroke to it which is an important part of the image design. Can anyone help please

If you can upload your PSD file and post a link to it so we can get what you have now. We can download it a show you what can be done. You see a path that has multiple closed sub paths is like a layer stack. Each segment is like a layer in a stack of layers and each layer has a mixing mode. Changing modes and order can radically change shapes the path will produce. Herr you see 5 paths all have the same sub paths but not not all have the same order and modes. The paths look different in the Path palette and the shape made with the are quite different.
How Photoshop stroke a shape often baffles me Sometime I feel the segment are missing or are extra and should not be there. Its most likely the stacking order and modes. I just can not seem to get a good mind's eye on the stack an modes. I know my brain must be defective in the perfect world how can that be????
Where is my stroke in this one I sure can not see it. All modes are subtract so Adobe subtracted the stroke I would guess...

Need help with drawing shape and scrollbar
Hi everybody, I am newbie at java just started learning it. I have a few questions to ask.
1. Can anyone show me to how to draw a equilateral penatgon, octagon, ( 5-10 sized shape) with polar cordinate.
2. How to make the scrollbar back to their default state( work alone not together) after you use the "scrollbar1.setModel(scrollbar2.getModel())" method. For example I only want the scrollbar to work together when I choose circle as a shape after that I want the scrollbar to be back to normal when I pick another shape rectangle for example. When the scrollbar work together, how do I the make it so that the scrollbar move from bottom to top for vertical bar and from left to right for the horizontal bar when they work together instead of the default bar move from left(0) to right(max) for horizontal bar and from top(0) to bottom(max) for the vertical bar.Here's some code that builds regular polygonal icons.

Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP
Frustrated: Novice Illustrator User Needs HELP
Hello All
I am a novice user of Illustrator [after you read my question it will probably be obvious] running Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4) - on a MAC iMac running 10.4.11. I am a small business owner and have to wear many hats and so I am forced to be my graphic designer by default - ha ha
PROBLEM - If I make a box using the RECTANGLE TOOL... The box should have a point at each Corner and the Middle of the box, as well as, in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom for a total of 9 anchor points... but it only has 5... missing the 4 anchor points in the Middle of each Side, and middle of Top and Bottom. It is the same on Text Boxes too.. I can NOT find a setting to change this.... More, when running Illustrator on my MAC Laptop, It has all 9 anchors on the box... I looked at Preferences etc... and matched everything to be the same but the problem is not fixed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks-
13CrazyTrainAw, c'mon James. Chill it a bit.
Yeah. You continually throw around your little personal jibes, and then if someone calls your bluff, you think you can back out of it with the old "can't you take a joke?" comeback.
In my previous work environment where everyone used Illie, Freehand was a word to be used cautiously – a bit like Macbeth in the theatre.
Well, I didn't work in your previous environment. And FreeHand specifically had nothing to do with this thread until you brought it up. Seems to me it's you who has a FreeHand chip on his shoulder.
I thought you knew my way of expressing myself better...
What, you think I keep a personality registry of regulars here or something? I'll tell you what I don't do: I don't engage in personal insults here. Yet your personal jibes are frequent enough for me to have grown weary of them.
I think I was not dismissing bounding boxes as useless...
Excuse me? "There's absolutely no need to use bounding boxes"?
You are probably right that bounding boxes came with Illie 9.
Probably before that. But I can personally recall that the current-selection bounding box was present in AI9. Unlike some, I try to avoid making claims that I can't immediately substantiate.
I hopped straight from 6 to 9 and that was the first time I had seen them outside of Freewotever.
I'm not familiar with "Freewotever." But if you're again trying to be funny, you are also again revealing your near complete unfamiliarity with it. FreeHand is not the program that continually cluttered the interface with bounding boxes. In fact, for many years that is exactly one of the distractions FreeHand users complained about re Illustrator.
First off, FreeHand's interface doesn't display bounding boxes. It displays only bounding box handles (four dots) on non-basic constructs like clipping paths. (Somewehere around FH 9, it implemented the optional Transform Handles, but that's another thing.) In the cases of rectangles and ellipses, FreeHand doesn't display Bounding Boxes per se. Working in FreeHand has always provided more functionality with much less visual clutter (and tool glut) than Illustrator's defaults.
The difference is that FreeHand has always provided proper live geometric shape primitives--something which Illustrator still doesn't provide, even though it's one of the most basic of all vector drawing interface expectations, being present in just about any vector drawing program on the planet--except Illustrator. That point of confusion is common among those who are experienced only with Illustrator's chronically outdated and archaic interface.
Quite to the contrary, a rectangle drawn in a program that does provide basic live primitives doesn't need a bounding box to perform the bare-bones basic manipulation exemplified, because you can change the aspect ratio of it (and corner radius) anytime you want, regardless of its rotation. You can do this not only in FreeHand, but Canvas, Inkscape, Xara Designer, and even in just about any basic drawing module of just about any "works" or "office" bundle. It's just Illustrator that still fails to provide live shape primitives, and therefore needs a rotated bounding box to provide a very limited subset of such common functionality. You draw a rectangle (or any other geometric primitive) in Illustrator, and all you get is a dumb path. So Illustrator actually needs bounding boxes more than other programs, because of its anemic core funciton set and its hideous user interface.
But of course, someone who is familiar only with Illustrator wouldn't know that. Which is fine...so long as they don't spew derision at programs they know next to nothing about (and users of such programs).
...bearing in mind that I have been at this job since the days of Rotring pens with nosebleeds.
So? I was using Rapidographs and constructing compound rotation in isometric on the board for about a decade before I came to prefer Staedtler pens because I found them less prone to clog. What does that have to do with anything?
Obviously newcomers should be encouraged to use new features, but preferably not before they have grasped the basics thoroughly. How basic bounding boxes are is perhaps a moot point.
Nonsense. Other self-proclaimed "experts" in Illustrator would no doubt argue that bounding boxes were added for the benefit of "beginners." Again, this is not a "new feature." And yes, it is bare-bones basic; just implemented in a half-baked manner in Illustrator.
As for step 3 you are right, but if you turn off the preview you can use the pixels on the paths for alignment,
Egads. That's really grasping at straws, Steve.
...Or use bounding boxes.
Or use bounding boxes.

Need help with Media Players, please.
I have a mid-2007 iMac OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick) still in perfect shape, except for what I may have just messed up.
I was trying to watch a video on VeeHD and it said that I needed the VeeHD plug-in. From some research I did, I learned that the newer versions of DivX don't play well with Apple and that older versions worked better. So, I uninstalled my DivX player (and everything DivX) from my computer and installed the recommended earlier version 14. I'm still having the same problem. I use Safari as my main browser because Firefox was giving me problems with loading times and buffering.
I'm wondering what I did wrong because now, no matter what video content I try to play, I get a gray box with HTML5 in it instead of the usual "Play" button (the triangle). Once I click on HTML5, it then says FLASH and I have to click that to get the video to load. Even on YouTube. No matter what I do now, I can't get this to change back to the way it was and pages in general are taking longer to load and buffer. I tried repairing permissions. I'm afraid I may have deleted a plug-in that I shouldn't have and don't know which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please? I'm afraid I've put my foot in it. Also, which media players should I have or which ones are the best? Which one is the best default player? I have an updated Flash Player, Perian, VLC, Mac Media Player, DivX v.14, FLV Crunch, and Quicktime. Too many? Am I missing some? I watch videos on different sites like Firedrive, GorillaVid, BestStream, MightyUpload, YouTube, etc., I've never had any problems until I messed around with my DivX player (the only player I had trouble viewing with, until now.)
All helpful, constructive suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated!That's exactly what it was. I had ClickToFlash downloaded. I've had it for awhile and it didn't affect any of my video watching until I uninstalled DivX. I wonder why.
Now that I understand ClickToFlash, the only thing I like about it is that it prevents videos from playing automatically when a page is loaded. But, I uninstalled it and the loading and buffering delays went away. Thanks very much!
I meant to click "This solved my problem" on your post instead of "This helped me." How can I change that? -
Warning this is very long code but i need help to see if I am on right trac
I have done all the following code myself and it is the buisiness layer for my application. I have tried to follow recommendations on previous posts and I would like to be told where I can clean up my code and how? This is not complete and it looks very long to me but I need help in order to be better. There are 4 button vlivks and I have not completed them all. The criteria for application is that phonebook will accept new entries if they have names surnames and phone numbers that are not longer than 10 characters for display purposes but can change this. No duplicates are allowed. No editing of a existing entry must lead to a duplicate entry either. No new entry or edit may result in a new contact having no phone numbers.
Many thanks for your time in advance,.....

I need Help with a website I've created
I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

<p>Last year, in response to the growing number of Christians who celebrate Hanukkah but hate Christmas, I wrote an article for this website titled “Hanukkah or Christmas?” I explained why I think Jesus was either conceived or birthed on December 25.</p>

</html>Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
Here is the programs code that I've written so far:
{code}
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class Project {
private static String nameSurname = "";
private static String num1 = null;
private static String num2 = null;
private static String choice1 = null;
private static double answer = 0;
private static String more;
public double Add() {
answer = (Double.parseDouble(num1) + Double.parseDouble(num2));
return answer;
public double Subtract() {
answer = (Double.parseDouble(num1) - Double.parseDouble(num2));
return answer;
public double Multiply() {
answer = (Double.parseDouble(num1) * Double.parseDouble(num2));
return answer;
public double Divide() {

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -
Need help with Berkeley XML DB Performance
We need help with maximizing performance of our use of Berkeley XML DB. I am filling most of the 29 part question as listed by Oracle's BDB team.
Berkeley DB XML Performance Questionnaire
1. Describe the Performance area that you are measuring? What is the
current performance? What are your performance goals you hope to
achieve?
We are measuring the performance while loading a document during
web application startup. It is currently taking 10-12 seconds when
only one user is on the system. We are trying to do some testing to
get the load time when several users are on the system.
We would like the load time to be 5 seconds or less.
2. What Berkeley DB XML Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please specify?
dbxml 2.4.13. No special patches.
3. What Berkeley DB Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please Specify.
bdb 4.6.21. No special patches.
4. Processor name, speed and chipset?
Intel Xeon CPU 5150 2.66GHz
5. Operating System and Version?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Relase 4 Update 6
6. Disk Drive Type and speed?
Don't have that information
7. File System Type? (such as EXT2, NTFS, Reiser)
EXT3
8. Physical Memory Available?
4GB
9. Are you using Replication (HA) with Berkeley DB XML? If so, please
describe the network you are using, and the number of Replica’s.
No
10. Are you using a Remote Filesystem (NFS) ? If so, for which
Berkeley DB XML/DB files?
No
11. What type of mutexes do you have configured? Did you specify
–with-mutex=? Specify what you find inn your config.log, search
for db_cv_mutex?
None. Did not specify -with-mutex during bdb compilation
12. Which API are you using (C++, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, other) ?
Which compiler and version?
Java 1.5
13. If you are using an Application Server or Web Server, please
provide the name and version?
Oracle Appication Server 10.1.3.4.0
14. Please provide your exact Environment Configuration Flags (include
anything specified in you DB_CONFIG file)
Default.
15. Please provide your Container Configuration Flags?
final EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConf.setAllowCreate(true); // If the environment does not
// exist, create it.
envConf.setInitializeCache(true); // Turn on the shared memory
// region.
envConf.setInitializeLocking(true); // Turn on the locking subsystem.
envConf.setInitializeLogging(true); // Turn on the logging subsystem.
envConf.setTransactional(true); // Turn on the transactional
// subsystem.
envConf.setLockDetectMode(LockDetectMode.MINWRITE);
envConf.setThreaded(true);
envConf.setErrorStream(System.err);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*1024*64);
envConf.setMaxLockers(2000);
envConf.setMaxLocks(2000);
envConf.setMaxLockObjects(2000);
envConf.setTxnMaxActive(200);
envConf.setTxnWriteNoSync(true);
envConf.setMaxMutexes(40000);
16. How many XML Containers do you have? For each one please specify:
One.
1. The Container Configuration Flags
XmlContainerConfig xmlContainerConfig = new XmlContainerConfig();
xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
2. How many documents?
Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
server container is stopped.
The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
will grow with every login.
3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
Node
4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
documents?
The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
mostly about 5MB.
5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
We are using document data only to save changes made
to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
will cause severe performance issues.
17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
replacing the document?
The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
gets saved in a relational database.
19. What is the query rate required/expected?
Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
at the same time.
20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
1. Please provide the Query Plan
2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
Yes.
3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
// ids
spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
// index to cover AttributeValue/Description
spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
// cover AttributeValue/@value
spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
// item attribute values
spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
// default index
spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
// save the spec to the container
XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
the same disk as your containers/databases?
Yes.
23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
No.
24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
No.
25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
only mode? How many threads are updating?
We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
within the context of a struts action thread.
26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
where the performance is currently insufficient.
We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
five users are on the system.
getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
period of time:
% db_stat -h database environment -c
% db_stat -h database environment -l
% db_stat -h database environment -m
% db_stat -h database environment -r
% db_stat -h database environment -t
(These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
environment. If your application has a private environment, please
remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
you.)
If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
please run the above list of commands several times, during both
good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
the output of each command isn't cumulative).
When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
good choices.
Will give this information soon.
29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
Please describe the application?
No to the first two questions.
The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
database.
Thanks,
Madhav
[email protected]Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
Joined existing environment
dbxml> setverbose 7 2
dbxml> open tv.dbxml
dbxml> listIndexes
dbxml> query { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Here is a simple SSCCE. Now make your changes and if you still have problems you have something simple to post. If it works then you add it to your real application.

News "FLASH"... Nancy O (the legend) ... i need help again
I am trying to put a banner on my website for my exam.... It will have to have an image with logos flashing across and stopping for a few seconds before carrying on.and out the other side. I have looked up everywhere to see how this is done but with no joy. There is lots of info out there but it is not working for me. In Flash i have no problem creating a banner image with various logos moving from one side to the other or even changing the image from one shape to another or bouncing it up and down the stage from one side to the other. I can even stagger the timelines for the logos to make them enter one after the other. The one thing i can not get to grips with is making the images stop or pause after they have entered from one side before exiting the other side. I have followed step by step many youtube tutorials but the authors are wizzing through them too fast and despite folling every step second by second, i am missing a vital step somewhere. Would someone please let me know step by step (and please assume i am an idiot when doing this) the sequence i must follow from the very begining to the last step when i publish.
Noooooooo........ When i saw your email notification i had high hopes of getting the answer i have been trying to work out for two days....but no problem ..your still a legend ha ha ... you got me out of a big hole in this project the last time... but thanks for taking the time to reply, i will try the other forum.

You'll get better answers in the Flash Forums for whichever Action Script ver you're using.
Sorry. I don't do much Flashy stuff anymore. As far as I'm concerned, when Apple iDevices quit supporting Flash, it became a dying web technology.
